I am glad you are on these boards and can safely say anything about how you feel and think it would be much harder without people who understand a little how someone else can feel in a almost similiar situation
the simple fact she is talking to you about how she feels what she wants what she wants to feel what she thinks about feelings and what she isn't feeling that she thinks she should are all huge positives for you
unfortunately time is what is going to fix this if she didn't feel somewhat safe with you she would not bring up the talks she does if she didn't feel like something was wrong (and probably with her) she wouldn't have gotten upset and cried
that feeling she is looking for - well it can be in many forms and at the moment she is thinking of one that one that people get when they are in 'the lust' stage not in 'the love' stage so you just keep on doing what you are doing and don't worry about it too much it will happen it just takes time
do you guys have a 'date' night or anything where you dress up and go out??? getting close can happen in more ways than one but then you already know this
